Notes About The Poem

Human written on 8/5/2025, for Dweller of our heart Poetry Contest, sponsored by Unseeking Seeker

Dweller of Our Heart

Contemplate the sun, that celestial jewel  
who happily burns hydrogen for fuel,
and shines away the night,
so then, before our earthly eyes,
we see vast and glorious blue skies - 
and plants that photosynthesis
from its warmth and light.

The greens we eat will then provide
the sun's vitality, which we have inside,
causing us to shine -
and, like the sun, we can share
the energy we have to spare. 
So, I propose a toast or prayer
to the universe divine.
